History: Hotah was the eldest of Aleu and Yakone’s litter. It was clear from a young age that he would make a great pack leader someday, as he was very intelligent, strong, and a skilled leader. Thus, Aleu appointed him as future leader of the pack, a role Hotah took very seriously. As he got older, Hotah was good at pretty much any duty he was given, but was more of a jack of all trades, master of none kind of guy. The one place where he really excelled at was being a leader. He was also quite a good fighter, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how one looks at it.

    Eventually, Aleu stepped down from her role as pack leader, and Hotah was officially the new leader of the pack. He understood how much of a responsibility was on his shoulders and vowed to be as good of a leader as possible. However, things went south when a rival clan, led by a wolf named Kallik, became extremely violent towards Hotah’s pack and even killed one of Hotah’s close friends. It was revealed that many years ago, a wolf named Niju from Hotah’s pack (at that time, Nava’s pack) had killed Kallik’s parents in a violent fight and Kallik wanted to get revenge. Hotah tried to talk Kallik out of this, but it was no use, as Kallik promised he would eliminate everyone from Hotah’s pack. Soon, a violent and bloody war erupted between the two packs, but Hotah’s pack came out victorious. Kallik had fallen off a cliff during a fight with Hotah, and his already weakened pack had surrendered. The two packs made a truce, and all was well.

    Sometime during the war, Hotah had started dating Nayeli, his childhood friend. Now that the war was over, the two of them decided to become mates. Nayeli announced one day that she was pregnant, and Hotah was overjoyed. He had always wanted a son who he could love and be a great role model to. But Hotah was surprised when Nayeli didn’t give birth to any sons, but instead, six daughters. However, Hotah loved them all the same, and cherished them greatly.

Relation to Balto: His grandson (Aleu’s son)
